Grant now sat in a chair in the basement. Tango had found some rope in one of the vans and they used it to tie Grant to the chair. Jason sat on a stool in the corner, watching as they tied him to the chair. He couldn't bring himself to tie his best friend up. It was bad enough having to restrain him and knock him out. Steve had gone up with Tango to take care of his bloody nose and to shut off all the cameras and lock the vans. He was glad that this was one of the cases where they didn't bring the TV crew. Tango came up to Jason when they were done.
"How is Steve?" Jason asked.
"He is okay. Little bit of blood but his nose isn't broken just going to leave a bruise," Tango stated.
Jason kept watching Grant. He didn't seem possessed at the moment. He looked like he was just sleeping.
"Kevin when can you start exorcising the demon?" Jason asked.
"I can't."
"What do you mean you can't?" Jason asked getting of the stool and into his face.
"I can't do it alone. I need someone else to do it with me."
"Can one of us?" Steve asked holding an ice pack to his nose.
"No. I need someone who has been trained in exorcising demons. I do know someone who can help us. I'll give him a call and tell him we need his help."
"Do it fast." Jason ordered as Grant let out a moan.
Kevin went upstairs and outside to get service on his phone. Jason walked over to Grant and stood 5 feet in front of the chair.
"Ok who brought holy water to the party?" Grant groaned.
He pulled on his restraints and finally locked eyes with Jason.
"Well you know I'm into kinky stuff, but I usually like a little foreplay before it," he teased.
Jason didn't say anything. He just crossed his arms in front of his chest and continued to stare into those red eyes.
"Oh come on Jason lighten up. It's funny. Well at least for me it is." Grant laughed.
Jason said nothing.
"You know I can hear Grant. He is screaming inside of me right now. I can hear his thoughts too and see his memories. Oh his wife is really nice looking and so are his children. I can see your children too. Your one oldest daughter she really interests me. So beautiful ummmmhmmm I could have a lot of fun with her," Grant smiled sadistically, "bad girl needs a spanking."
Jason couldn't take it anymore. He stomped forward intending to pound that demon out of Grant, but Steve came up and held him back.
"Easy Jason. You know he's just trying to get to you, don't listen to him." Steve reasoned.
"He is talking about my daughter Steve!" Jason yelled.
"I know but you can't hurt him. You have to remember that is Grant's body he is possessing. If you hurt him your hurting Grant." Steve reminded him.
Jason eased up and backed away. Grant laughed again.
"That's right Jason. You don't want to hurt poor little Grant now do you?"
Jason just kept staring crossing his arms back again.
"You know, I think I'm going to take a break for awhile. Let a little drama unfold and see what happens," Grant stated.
"What do you mean?" Tango asked.
"You'll see. Catch you on the flip side." Grant smiled.
Grant's head dropped to his chest and his eyes closed. For a few seconds there was silence. Then Grant moaned and started to move again.
"Ugh…what happened?"
He started pulling on his restraints when he realized he was tied to a chair.
"Wha….what's going on?"
Grant looked around the room and saw Jason and the guys looking at him.
"Jason? What's going on? Why is Steve's nose bleeding? Where's Kevin? Why am I tied to a chair?"
"Don't give into it Jason. It might not be him." Steve warned.
"What? What are you talking about Steve? It's me. It's Grant."
"His eyes aren't red. It could be Grant." Jason reasoned.
"The demon could be doing that. He could be playing with us to let him go." Tango stated.
"Jason what is he talking about? Seriously guys this isn't funny anymore. Let me go."
"Sorry Grant we can't do that. We can't be sure that this is you." Jason apologized.
" Jason what the hell are you talking about? Of course its me! My name is Grant Wilson and I have known you for 20 years! I am the godfather to your youngest son and the closest thing you have to a brother!"
"I'm sorry Grant but I can't take that chance."
"Jason please! Let me go! Please!"
"I'm sorry Grant"
"Jason please let me go! I can feel it inside of me! Please don't let it take over me again! Please let me go please! Jason it's trying to take me back! Please help me Jason please help-"
Grant's eyes squeezed shut and his head threw back and he screamed. His head came back down and he breathed deeply for a few minutes. When he looked back at Jason his eyes were red again.
"Well, that was fun."
"What did you do with him you bastard?" Steve demanded.
"I just took the wheel back. I was getting tired of the cry and please don't let him hurt me fest,"
Jason kept staring anger filling him and making his blood boil.
"He is still screaming for you Jason. Screaming and crying like a little bitch."
Jason couldn't take it anymore. He stormed out of the room and up the stairs. He saw Kevin hanging up the phone.
"Well? Is your friend coming?" Jason asked.
"Yes but he is an hour away. We just have to wait right now," Kevin stated.
"Great that's just great!" Jason exclaimed.
"Don't worry. This seems like a low level demon. If he was easily taken down by the holy water than it shouldn't be a problem. I just need someone else here to do the exorcism because I don't have much experience and I don't want to risk messing up and hurting Grant," Kevin explained.
"It's fine. I just….I just want my best friend back," Jason mumbled.
"We will get him back Jason," Kevin assured putting a hand on Jason's shoulder, "I promise you."
Jason nodded and Kevin went back downstairs to help Steve and Tango keep an eye on Grant. Jason took out a cigarette and lit it up. Taking a long drag, he exhaled a long stream of smoke leaning his head up to look at the night sky. They were far away enough from the city that he could he see a few stars. He should have never suggested that Grant go down to the basement with him. He knew Grant had a bad feeling about it and he didn't listen. Now he might lose his best friend to a demon. He sent up a prayer of hope that everything would be alright and he would get Grant back from this. He had a feeling deep down in him though that it wasn't going to be that easy.
